Chinese New Year
is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It celebrated in
areas with large populations of ethnic Chinese around the world. The Chinese
New Year tradition is a great way to reconcile forgetting all grudges, and
sincerely wish peace and happiness for everyone. It is also the tradition that
every family thoroughly cleans the house to sweep away any ill-fortune in hopes
to make way for good incoming luck. On the Eve of Chinese New Year, supper is a
feast with families.
